Ken & Tiny, and other family members, I had the honor of having your mom at my home on several holidays. While I am a more casual type and Ruth was more formal I believe she enjoyed being there as much as she was welcome there. I hope the sadness you're going through now will soon change into beloved memories. I'm sorry that I couldn't attend any of the sevices but hope you got my phone message. Ken, the years of time and care that Tiny and you gave to your mother are years that you will cherish. I love you and am sending a prayer your way.
